I was in the same boat. I've been emailing George back and forth for a day now with questions and I placed my order this morning.

Thanks! I was going to take some pictures of the Ghost Pepper, but it just wanted to fly away with all of the wind. So, it stayed in the hammock while I took the Long Hot pictures.

What did you end up ordering?

What did you end up ordering?

Ended up getting an 80" duck Habanero (20F) and 75" goose Ghost Pepper (30F). The top quilt will end up replacing my 30/40F (survival/comfort) mummy bag for when I go backpacking places I cannot hang. Sadly, due to weather I think these will only get used a few months a year. Most of the year it is 65-85 at night here.
I originally wanted to be flashier w/ colors of my alma mater, but figured it would show dirt/wear easier so I settled on Charcoal/Orange. Worst case I can invert one/both as a signal or 'hunters don't shoot me' sign.

Also, the current promotional discount for ordering two or more quilts allowed me to upgrade the topquilt to goose down and stay on budget.

Great upgrades to the site. Makes me wanna purchase another quilt.

I've been working on a new store for loco Libre Gear for a couple of weeks now and it's finally up and running. I took advantage of the new technology to make some great changes and to add some new options.I'll try to list them all here.

STORE

The whole store is cleaner and smoother to navigate.There is now a search function as well as a shopping cart and wish list.

You can now create an account, and track your order's progress through the account.

The store is now mobile friendly. Yay!

All orders tabulate as you check options.No more going to the shopping cart to see what the cost is.

I've added a section for other cottage manufacturers gear that I will carry.I choose to support them and hope that you will too.

ALL QUILTS

I've added a few options, most notably you can now choose what color thread you want inside and out. Also,there is now a photo gallery with each product.

UNDERQUILTS

The Longhot is no more. All underquilts now fall under the Habanero title.

Instead of just an option to buy a 3/4 or full underquilt you can purchase a quilt that YOU custom size to any length from 50" to 83" in one increments. You can also add up to 5 ounces of down to the larger quilts. If you pick too much down for that particular size quilt it will say out of stock.

TOPQUILTS

The confusing mess of paypal buttons is no more! There is one drop down for each quilt with all options.

I've added the option of "half Taper". What this means is that the quilt will taper 5" from top to bottom. This has been popular so why not add it as an option?

CUSTOM WORK

Since we've opened people have asked for fabrics from other places. Up to this point we have absorbed most, if not all of the costs of these orders. My cost is $6.95 in shipping, plus an additional $2-$3 per yard of fabric. Because of these costs, I will gladly still make custom quilts with these fabrics, but cannot absorb the costs any more. There is an option under "Custom Work" called "Non Standard Fabric Charge" to address this. I hope you can understand,as we want to be around for a long time. Thank you for your understanding.

Please, please, please give feedback on the new store.I'm excited and I hope it will increase your gear buying experience!
